Almost directly opposite Luo Yu's residence, one could even discern the shape of the teacups on his living room table through a telescope.
As You Mingxu entered the living room, she saw Yin Feng standing by the window, hands in his pockets, seemingly lost in thought. Jing Ping sat at the table, studying a set of floor plans that You Mingxu immediately recognized as Luo Yu's apartment layout.
Both men turned when she entered.
You Mingxu's gaze briefly met Yin Feng's before settling on Jing Ping.
Her decision to go undercover had been approved by her superiors. Jing Ping had made a solemn pledge before Ding Xiongwei yesterday, vowing to ensure her safety at all costs. However, only Jing Ping and Ding Xiongwei were aware of this guarantee. Seeing her now, Jing Ping merely raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Our undercover agent comrade has arrived?"
You Mingxu smiled faintly. After all, this was her first time undertaking such undercover work, especially in such a major case, and she felt somewhat proud. Sitting opposite him, she said: "I'll be counting on your guidance."
Jing Ping replied: "No problem. Your first principle as an undercover agent—no matter what happens, protect yourself first."
You Mingxu was momentarily taken aback when Yin Feng sat down beside her, his faint yet distinct presence enveloping her. He said: "Old Jing is right."
Xu Mengshan also took a seat on the other side of the square table, adding: "Discuss everything with us, don't push yourself too hard."
Facing these three seasoned men, You Mingxu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, though she only smiled and said: "So naggy. I know."
Jing Ping smiled and glanced at Xu Mengshan, who understood the cue and said: "Since you just moved in today, our team will install surveillance cameras tomorrow while his place is empty. We'll have someone monitoring 24/7."
You Mingxu: "Mm."
"No need," the person beside her said.
Only then did You Mingxu properly look at him since entering the room. His expression was remarkably calm and gentle, reminiscent of the warm man from last night, with none of his usual sharpness.
Yin Feng said: "I've already installed the cameras. I'll share the feed with you later."
Xu Mengshan reacted quickly. After a brief pause, he didn't comment further. Although Yin Feng's actions were somewhat irregular, as a member of the team, Xu Mengshan naturally turned a blind eye.
You Mingxu asked: "When did you have them installed?"
Yin Feng replied: "This morning."
Xu Mengshan nodded: "How many did you install?" Given Luo Yu's spacious residence and the access corridors, comprehensive coverage was essential for both 24-hour surveillance and You Mingxu's close protection. However, too many cameras risked detection. Based on Xu Mengshan's experience, about ten would have sufficed.
Yin Feng paused briefly before answering calmly: "Thirty-three."
The other three were stunned. You Mingxu suddenly felt her face grow warm with embarrassment. Jing Ping was also speechless. Xu Mengshan forced a dry laugh: "Isn't that a bit excessive?"
This meant even the most hidden corners were under surveillance! They'd be able to see if a speck of dust floated up in Luo Yu's home.
You Mingxu said: "Is that really necessary?"
The man beside her said softly: "I happen to think it's absolutely necessary."
Jing Ping remarked: "I'm just concerned they might be easily discovered."
Yin Feng replied: "If they're found, we'll install new ones. Besides, I trust Guan Jun's craftsmanship. Did you notice any cameras when you moved in earlier?" He turned to You Mingxu.You Mingxu had also just inspected the house and truly found nothing. Yin Feng could tell the answer from her expression and smiled faintly, his eyes clear and bright. Xu Mengshan cleared his throat and said, "Alright then. With Teacher Yin setting up an inescapable net, let's see what tricks Luo Yu can still pull off."
